Sea cucumbers belong to the class Holothuroidea and come in various types, with notable examples including the black sea cucumber (Holothuria atra), the tiger sea cucumber (Holothuria scabra), and the California sea cucumber (Parastichopus californicus). These species vary in habitat and appearance, with some having a leathery texture and others displaying distinctive coloration patterns. Sea cucumbers play vital roles in marine ecosystems, contributing to nutrient cycling and sediment turnover. Additionally, they are harvested in some cultures for their culinary and medicinal value.
